More rain arrives Monday morning. Temperatures in the 60s are likely Sunday before cooler weather on Monday.

In Northern California, steady rain fell and was expected to spread statewide Sunday. Fresh and growing snow blanketed the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, ending a dry spell and raising hopes the drought-stricken state can get much needed precipitation.

Droves of snowboarders, skiers and sledders packed Sierra slopes while tourists braved wet weather and visited San Francisco landmarks before an even more blustery storm arrived later in the day.
